The review
Strong contender. That is where Cosmic Tonka lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Arabians Tonka.
French Avenue sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Arabians Tonka's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an eau de parfum, the strength most designer originals are sold at.
At $31 per 100ml it costs 84% less than Arabians Tonka — the 4th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength French Avenue publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: saffron and bergamot up top, oud and Bulgarian Rose in the middle, Tonka Bean, sugar cane and amber underneath — the shape of Montale Arabians Tonka.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
Heart
- oud
- Bulgarian Rose
Base
- Tonka Bean
- sugar cane
- amber
For the one who wants a nuclear-projecting sweet tonka-and-saffron blend over rose and oud, warm, gourmand and impossible to ignore in any room.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
